    How people arrived at their start up idea

    Speaking from direct experience the tech industry doesn't navigate like traditional startups. I've collected 5 survey responses so far (I aimed for about 7 however), so I'll leave you with this regarding your flag waving patriotism. Please ignore the framing topic of Brexit within the...

    My initial post: ''So I’m doing some research on startup owners / aspiring start up owners / those who have launched startups at some point, and how they found their business idea.'' There is no contradiction in my response to you and my initial post and survey. I'm simply doing market...

    That's all very good and well, Fisicx. When your start ups are scaled up to a fraction of Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Lyft, Google, Reddit etc etc please let us all know. One can 'manage' or can thrive and be more time efficient through learning lessons from others that have succeeded through...

    No need, I realised I should have made it clearer the people who the survey is for. MVP = Minimum Viable Product. The other users who have answered my survey have had no issue with it as they are involved in the internet start up scene. Thanks though!
